Everything You Need to Know About the Costs of ISO 9001 Certification.

Many companies shy away from the costs of ISO 9001 certification. We would like to provide you with a detailed overview of the costs of ISO 9001 certification. First, we would like to point out that the certification effort, regardless of the specific ISO standards or requirements, is carried out in accordance with accreditation requirements. The accreditation bodies prescribe how certification bodies must calculate the audit time. Of course, there are various criteria according to which the audit time is calculated depending on the company, industry, or number of employees. In the following image, we present the five most important factors that influence the costs of ISO 9001 certification.

Additional Factors Influencing the Costs of ISO 9001 Certification

In the chart above, we have initially presented the five most important factors relevant to the costs of ISO 9001 certification. Here, we briefly summarize additional factors for you.

Number of Buildings

Size of the Site

Temporary Inspections

Degree of Automation

Knowledge About the Company

Already Certified

Similar Activities

Effective Number of Employees

Shift Work

The number of buildings is an important factor for the costs of ISO 9001 certification. If a company has more than one building, additional audit time is considered for the extra buildings. This increases both the audit time and the certification costs.

The size of the site plays an important role in the costs of ISO 9001 certification. If the site size is very large relative to the number of employees, the additional time for coordination between departments is also considered, which increases the audit time accordingly.

Temporary inspections can extend the audit time and thereby increase the costs of ISO 9001 certification.

The higher the degree of automation in a company, the more the audit time can be reduced, which also leads to a reduction in the costs of ISO 9001 certification.

If PIAQ has already certified your company under another standard, both the audit time and the costs for ISO 9001 certification are automatically reduced.

With recertification, the ISO 9001 certification costs can be reduced by up to 20% over a three-year period compared to initial certification.

If a company employs staff performing similar activities, the effective number of employees can be calculated accordingly lower. This leads to a reduction in the costs of ISO 9001 certification.

The costs of ISO 9001 certification are calculated based on the effective number of employees. Generally, the lower the effective number of employees, the lower the costs of ISO 9001 certification.

For companies with shift work, the effective number of employees can be calculated based on the main shift, which reduces the costs of ISO 9001 certification by lowering the effective number of employees.

FAQ – Learn More About ISO 9001 Certification Costs

We have compiled and answered a list of the most frequently asked questions about ISO 9001 certification costs for you.

 

The answer to this question is simple: There are accredited and non-accredited certification bodies. The prices of accredited certification bodies must be calculated based on accreditation requirements. The daily rate may vary depending on the certification body, while the audit time is strictly calculated according to accreditation requirements. At PIAQ, we currently work with a daily rate of 1,250 euros. The costs for initial ISO 9001 certification start at 1,790 euros with us.

Non-accredited certification bodies, on the other hand, are not subject to such control. Therefore, they can freely define their prices, which usually results in significantly lower prices than those of accredited certification bodies.

The costs for ISO 9001 certification for a service company with fewer than 20 employees at PIAQ typically range between 1,790 euros and 2,750 euros. Deviations may occur depending on reduction or increase factors.
